Abstract (en)
The vehicle footboard or inclined loading platform comprises a rectangular frame (1), to the top part of which is fixed a transiting platform (8), that slides in a direction perpendicular to the side of the vehicle, in guides (3) made in the bottom of the chassis thereof. The said frame (1) is provided bilaterally with racks (7) that mesh with corresponding pinions that are also inserted underneath the vehicle and are powered by an electric motor in such a way as to cause the footboard to project partially or almost fully. The said transiting platform (8), hinged to the front of the frame (1), is able to adopt two extreme positions: the first, resting on the partially projecting frame, constitutes a step, whilst the second, with the frame almost fully projecting, forms an inclined loading platform that can be positioned on a slant with respect to the frame, the latter, in turn, being automatically inclinable towards the ground level.
